Eugène Delacroix and George Sand
A Friendship in Words and Images
Eugène Delacroix and George Sand first met in November 1834, when Frédéric Buloz, editor-in-chief of La Revue des deux mondes, asked the artist to paint a portrait of the writer to illustrate his articles. Sand’s relationship with Alfred de Musset had just ended; the writer was a broken young woman when she posed for the artist.
